Bulk Laptop Holder

First I want to apologize for the poor picture quality.  I was in my office with a cheap P&S camera that doesn't do very good in poor lighting.

So I needed a way to store 10-12 laptops in a relatively small area. As the IT person for our office, I need to have spare laptops on hand in case user's laptop crashes or otherwise needs to be replaced.  I could stack them, but then they would over heat, especially the ones near the top of the stack.

I saw several of this wire paper holders laying around the office.  Our company has practically gone paperless, so these are really obsolete now.  So I decided to see if I could find a use for them.  As is, the laptop will not fit in between each divider.

To make the laptops fit, and provide more room between them for cooling, I cut out every other divider.  I used a Dremel tool to smooth the cut edges so they would scratch the laptops.

Now, instead of throwing these obsolete paper holders in to the trash, they will hold laptops.  It's kind of a poetic finish for these items.  When you think about it, there isn't much difference between a large stack of paper files from 20 years ago and a laptop today.
